IOLANI has been a bit disappointing over hurdles after his bumper victory but showed his liking for heavy ground when scoring on the Flat here earlier this month and looks ready to lose his maiden tag with conditions in his favour. West Coast Time began his career with a bumper victory and ended the last campaign in the championship bumper at Cheltenham. He reappeared on the Flat at Listowel a couple of weeks ago and will be ready for this. Belclare Boy gained his only success in 30 starts on the Flat here in May but Laverteen defied a year's absence to land a Navan bumper in fine style in the same month and looks one to follow.
